Probably a bag face, particularly in view of the traces of original selvage each side. The vivid colours and associated tassels resemble those of a delightful Mamluk silk applied patchwork bag with linen lining and embroidered with various colours, (Ashmolean Museum, no. 66, in Marianne Ellis, Embroideries and samplers from Islamic Egypt, Oxford, 2001, p.94).
